To avoid becoming a victim of social media scams, here are the key things you should do:
Verify who you are communicating with.
Be cautious with vocabulary. Scammers tend to use certain words and phrases.
Be aware of any requests for financial transaction information.
Monitor your credit card and bank accounts for charges you didn’t approve.
Verify the legitimacy of any website you are directed to.
Be suspicious of offers that sound too good to be true.
Change your passwords often.
Never give out your personal information.
Pay careful attention before clicking on any links.
